The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

I think this is really very neat!  To me, while Debian should not change
it's development style, cycle, policies, for the sake of mass marketing,
it is a wonderful goal for Debian developers to strive find such win-win 
solutions as Jim has identified.

I also agree with the comment that more careful or detailed planning of
releases might help ease some strains with CD-distributors (and for that 
matter others).  I think Debian has come a long, long way in that 
department in the last year, and any new ideas for regularizing the 
scheduling of evens will continue to benefit all.

Bravo!
Susan
